That this House congratulates Walk and Talk 4 Men St Neots on celebrating its fifth birthday; commends the dedication of founders Justin Leigh and Steve Whitney, and all its volunteer walk leaders, in creating a free, welcoming and judgement-free space where men can walk together and talk openly about their mental health and wellbeing; notes that the group has supported around 250 men since its founding in March 2021, and is now referred to by local healthcare providers as a valued part of the community support network; recognises the vital role that community-led initiatives like this play in addressing men’s mental health, given that men account for around three quarters of all suicides in the UK, are significantly less likely than women to seek help for mental health difficulties, and are at particular risk of isolation and loneliness; and calls on the Government to recognise the contribution of community-led men’s mental health initiatives in its planning and funding of mental health services.

That this House is deeply proud of the UK’s place as a world-leader in research and teaching in universities and other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), home to many of the world’s leading universities; notes with concern the deep financial issues facing many universities and HEIs, with more than four in ten universities in England expecting to be in a financial deficit by this summer; further notes the Government’s announcement of 12 May 2025 that proposes restricting student visas, limiting the graduate route, and imposing a levy on universities’ international student income; acknowledges the immense role that international students play in contributing to our country and our economy, while strengthening our soft power on the world stage; believes we must protect the UK’s place as a world leader in research by safeguarding our reputation as a destination for the world’s brightest minds; further believes that protecting university finances is of vital importance; therefore calls on the Government to urgently consult with the university and HEI sector on its immigration proposals; and further calls on the Government to move to a model where international student flows are reported separately to estimates of long-term migration to avoid counter-productive policies and to rapidly establish a review of higher education finance.
